Went to IKEA the other day for the first time.
 

IKEA just openned up here in Minneapolis. I went to check it out. It's huge! And it makes me want to buy stuff and eat there and have kids to make them play in the kids area. IKEA is the devil.

Party Poker is the devil

If they rented rooms there to live in Im sure people would live there too.

That reminds me I need to pick up a futon today.....

Go eat the meatballs and lindon berry (sp) sauce stuff. That is good shit!

IKEA freakin rawks!

I love Ikea..I promised Derek when he moves here that I would take him there and pick out stuff for his new appartment.

That's awesome. I'm sure Derek could easily end up buying the entire room by room.

Ikea has some tiny ugly shit.

I thought the fullsize couch was a chair.

Ikea is swedish quality!

Lol!:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

NO PEOPLE!!! IKEA is evil! There is allways something missing in the package when you buy from those cheap bastards :feels-hot

Stay far, far away from them!

BTW, printing this sitting on an IKEA chair by an IKEA desk :winkwink:

You are right..sometimes! The thing that frustrates me sometimes is that you get those directions with NO PRINTED VERBAL guide. All you get is some crumby stick man, with screwdriver and a few arrows pointing you towards the next move.:1orglaugh

Yeah, i'm in Seattle right now and I went to check out the IKEA store here. It was AWESOME!! I must get some things for my new place.

Also ran into SixNine while I was there, heh. Small world.

everyone always bitches about how ikea is cheap crap...and this always comes from the people that bought the $80 dresser....i mean come on, don't spend less than $100 on a dresser and expect it to be superior quality

if you actually shop there and get a nice piece that is a little more money than their cheap shit, it is actually very good quality

and you can't beat their downstairs, with all those home accessories...i love that place

hahahahahaha!

they serve crispy frogs legs there???

You can find some good stuff at IKEA if you look hard, but mostly it's a ripoff. They are the kings of cheapo laminate, particle board, and questionable upholstery. You're usually safe with the smaller stuff.

damn, i h8te fuckin Ikea...

yeah IKEA rocks

there's one in my city

Just not my taste at all. Honestly I tried to find one thing I liked - and I usually do but I walked out with nothing.

haha, no thank god.

True! But than the prices are about the same from some real furniture store (those that actually know the word "service").

I like Ikea kids. They have these:

What kid wouldn't want a giant leaf canopy over their bed- almost makes me want kids.

IKEA is nice. My brother in law is a warehouse manager for IKEA. After our house caught fire in Jan 01, he took us down there and using his employee discount, we were able to furnish our temp apartment for under $4K....can't beat that.

Please keep playing there though, I gotta eat!

They have some nice shit too

i banned ikea furniture from my house. now its all pottery barn, west elm, cost plus or nicer stores.

ikea translated from swedish means "breaks in 3 weeks"

jesus christ, talk about over paying

MEATBALLS...can't....resist...must...eat....MEATBA LLS :thumbsup

the wife is an Ikea Freak, we travel to Pittsburgh JUST to go to Ikea sometimes...lol...just sitting here, looking around the office, just about everything is ikea...

hardcore wood-lovers

ikea fucking sucks. its the most uncivilized experience ive ever had.

furniture shopping should go like this: see what you want, point at it and grunt. then a few days later it shows up and your house where big strong men carry it all inside and assemble it for you.

the choreography involved with doing anything at ikea is fuckin stupid. i hope they die.

I likes the idea. Cheap, and decent quality. I don't see anything wrong with that. I know it's not the best, but you definitely get what you pay for.

And I've never had the unfortunate experience of getting an incomplete piece of furniture from IKEA.

I give it a :thumbsup
